Fall of Time

Finally - the sequel to One Second Per Second has arrived - and this book is even better! A clever, fast paced story, intriguing characters, all peppered with the author's dry humour - this is a great time travel book. It will keep you totally immersed from start to finish. I highly recommend this book.

A good story full of paradoxes with funny, interesting characters. Left me thinking about what time really is.

Excellent, kind of existentially creepy story-telling with some really funny lines too. The first few chapters set out a plot that is chilling. It starts out with four friends celebrating in a bar in 1978 New York, but it's not clear what they're so excited about. A scientist accepts a job with a "government agency" she knows nothing about except that the interview process is a year long (it makes sense why, though, as she learns). All these people come together in a mysterious, intricate, incredibly sinister plot that spans centuries. The characters are great- brilliant, quirky, evil and earnest. They come to life with the narration, which is so good I got lost on bike ride while I was listening. I don't think reading the first book is a pre requisite but having read it there were recurring characters that I was glad to see again.

This plot really sets the mind to work, but in a fun way. It's set in the same world as the first book in the duology, but it's a great self-contained caper. I really enjoyed it. Super narrator, too.

Really entertaining journey, deep dives into its own time travel, mechanics and rules. Plenty of twists and surprises, lots of agendas afoot!
